Fall 2021 Doctoral Convocation

The College of Education is hosting an in-person Doctoral Convocation (Hooding Ceremony) on Friday, December 17, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. in the Erickson Hall Kiva. The ceremony, in addition to university Commencement activities, serves as a special recognition for those obtaining their doctoral degree(s) from the College of Education. University Commencement for graduates from doctoral programs begins at 3:30 pm in the Breslin Student Events Center. We will also livestream this event so that loved ones near and far can join in your celebration.
We welcome participation in this ceremony by any Ph.D. candidates who defended their dissertation (or have a dissertation defense scheduled no later than Dec. 31, 2021) and any Ed.D. and Ed.S. candidates who have completed all degree requirements before Dec. 31, 2021. Spartan alumni who fit this criteria received a link to apply to the ceremony in their MSU email account. If you believe you qualify under these eligibility requirements (above) but did not receive an application to participate, please reach out to Jennifer Brown (brown661@msu.edu).

Please keep in mind this event is being planned based on guidelines and protocols accurate as of time of this event announcement (Nov. 19, 2021). While we look forward to the opportunity to celebrate our doctoral graduates, plans may need to be changed depending on any future changes to university, local, state or federal guidelines. Potential participants who meet the requirements listed above will receive notices of any changes in their MSU email account, and changes will also be reflected on this event listing. We ask for your patience as/if plans need to be modified. As always, the health and safety of Spartans is our top priority.
